According to a Ural resident, the owners would pick up and buy some horses in poor condition, after which they treated and nursed them back to health.

«They cared for them for years. An enormous amount of labor and effort was invested. Just imagine, cleaning and feeding in the morning, afternoon, and evening. And how many resources are needed for feeding,» the reader noted.

He added that the family built the stable with their own hands.

«One could say, everyone pitched in; many helped, some with materials, some with labor. Because they respected the person (the stable owner. — Ed.), saw his attitude towards animals and people,» concluded the Ural resident.

Another E1.RU reader also speaks highly of the stable.

«The stalls are always clean, the animals are fed, all medical procedures are done on time. This story is not about business, but about love for animals. The stable owner bought animals that were destined for slaughter, treated them, and simply kept them, for free,» shared a subscriber of our Telegram channel.

In the fire, which occurred on January 23, all 15 horses that were in the stable perished. In addition, many buildings on the territory burned down. To restore the club, the family has organized a fundraiser and is asking all willing to provide whatever help they can.

Unfortunately, this is not the first such case. Several years ago, in Uralmash, Yekaterinburg, 12 horses burned alive in a stable fire.
